My Mischievous Millionaire

Part 29- Red Rose Hospital

Alex's POV

Christopher has such a tiring job. It requires him to be quick and witty. I still can't believe he's still keeping me as his personal assistant.

Just then, the office phone rang.

"Compu Tech industries, Alex Haytham speaking. How may I help you?" I asked.

"It's Ally, from Red Rose hospital. I have an update on Mr Kenway's father. May I please speak to him, it's of utmost importance." She stated.

His father? He never mentioned his father before.

"Could you wait a minute? I'll be right back." I asked her and she agreed.

I walked to Christopher's office. I was told not to disturb as he was having a meeting with two esteemed foreign guests, but this was far too important.

I knocked on the door a few times, but garnered no response.

I decided to open it.

"My apologies for disturbing, sir, but you have an important phone call from Red Rose Hospital. " I said.

Christopher did not look too happy. He clenched his jaw and replied.

"Miss Haytham, I have guests. What did I tell you?" He replied on gritted teeth.

"I just thought you'd like to answer their call. They are still on the line." I squeaked.

The two, old men seated in front of Christopher kept creepily gawking at me. Christopher looked at them and quickly responded.

"Tell them to call back later. Now leave us." He commanded and I left. Does he not care?

I was in no mood to be hard headed but my curiosity left me restless.

I went back to my private office, I apparently have one for days like this, when Christopher has guests.

I picked up the phone and replied to Ally.

"It's me again. Mr Kenway is in a meeting, yet he instructed me to ask about your reason for calling." I lied.

It was too late to take it back.

"His father is no longer in a coma. We were wondering if he could come visit. " She answered.

Coma?

I decided to lie again.

"Could you wait here again while I tell Mr Kenway the great news?" I asked.

"Fine." She annoyingly responded.

I didn't return to Christopher's office. Instead, I waited next to the phone for about a minute and a half before I replied again.

"Mr Kenway has given me permission to visit in his place, for now." I stated.

"Okay then. What is your name?" She asked.

"Alex Haytham. I'll be there in about forty minutes. " I said.

"I'll be expecting you. Goodbye." She said and hung up.

I let out a drawn out breath. Why did I do that!

I wallowed in regret for a bit before realising that it's too late to do anything about it.

I could just not go?

Nah.

I walked out of the office and walked towards the elevator. I went to the bottom floor and continued my trek to the hospital.
